Interesting that they are back to calling it Grogan's Grill
Yeah, this is what I’m realizing. Most unfortunate, given I don’t have meal options at Festhaus. Guess I won’t be using my meal plan during this event, ah well.
Incredibly greasy beignets. The choke point was the register, though, not the food service.
The pretzel shop has not been open on either of my two visits.
Oh no! I would be so disappointed! Thats really a shame because BGW has Pretzels & Beer listed as open on their website. Maybe shoot them an email? Maybe they even give you a free pretzel!?
The pretzel shop in Germany in between Mach and Bolty was open on Saturday
A bit off-topic, but how much beignet do you get for the price? I’m really interested in getting them, but I don’t want to spend my money on just a few bites.
Went on Saturday and had a phenomenal experience. My boys had so much fun with the music and dancing. Crowds were high, comparatively, as I hoped with the wonderful weather. Decorations and lighting really impressed me. I think this event has even better potential in the future, but it's already a winner to me. The biggest issue will continue to be weather. Saturday was so nice two sessions may have worked, still lots of people there at closing, but I think the combined session overall makes more sense. Unfortunately Sunday wasn't great and this weekend looks terrible. I hope they get some more decent weather because this event deserves to shine!
You get three reasonably sized Beignets. I will say that the quality control on them can be a bit uneven—mine were a bit underdone, although I'd prefer that to overdone if "perfectly fried" isn't an option.
The deep fried candy bars & s’mores casserole (or something like that) seemed really popular
That's a shame because they piled the meat like 1" high on our Brezel sandwiches last Saturday.
The past few times ive gotten the Jumbo pretzel I’ve been pretty disappointed. During Winter Weekends I couldn’t bit into it because it was so hard, I even hit it against a table and it sounded like a rock. And with my most recent visit being Saturday the thing so was small, Like 4-6 inches tall, my hand was literally larger than the pretzel.
It’s really sad on inconsistent they are. I mean, yes they are hand made everyday which will lead to some inconsistencies, I understand that, but the fact that the hardness and size differ on such a large noticeable scale is kinda sad.
